[PEN-L:1725] Re: flexible specialisation and lean production

Tony:

For an account of "lean production" in the world automobile industry, see:

-- James P. Womack, Daniel T. Jones & Daniel Roos _The Machine that
Changed the World_, NY, Rawson Associates, 1990  (this work is based on
the MIT multi-year study on "The Future of the Automobile").

For a technical description of "just-in-time" (kanban) production, from a
pro-management perspective, see:

-- Richard J. Schonberger _Japanese Manufacturing Techniques_, NY, The
Free Press, 1982
